Femur fracture
I had a femur fracture by falling from a slide and I got a displaced femur mid shaft fracture 2 months ago. Undergone internal fixation with titanium rod and four screws. Now should I walk with full weight bearing. What is the amount of callus in the xray image I shared with you???

Looks good. Callus is forming and in consolidation phase but only x-rays cannot guide you the weight bearing status as we don't know how are the soft tissues. Primary surgeon is the best to guide you about it
